■ Maintaining Sampled Sound Data in Memory


After you save sampled sound data in memory, it will remain
there as long as power is supplied to the keyboard. However,
if you disconnect the AC adaptor when there are no batteries

Tips for Maintaining Data


• Use both batteries and the AC adaptor together.
